Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
All eyes will be on De Grolsch Veste when Twente and Feyenoord face each other in the Eredivisie derby. The Reds did well to beat Vitesse on the road in their last league match, with the team quickly bouncing back from a 2-0 loss to PSV, and, no doubt, they regained a much-needed confidence. Twente are eager to retain their spot in top seven, but the game against Feyenoord will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.
De Trots van Zuid rolled over Willem II 5-0 at De Kuip, but it has to be noted that they broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time. Feyenoord are not regarded as good travellers, and given Twente’s display in the victory over Vitesse, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. In the first half of the season the two teams shared the spoils in Rotterdam (1-1).
